Granja Marathon: a luta pela terra e a organização do trabalho em um assentamento rural no Nordeste do Pará

Abstract

The Agrarian Reform theme has always been present in a way or the other in some intense discussions on the academic level, since the 20’s. With the democratic openning of 1985, the fight over the possession of land became tought and through occupation the pressure was on the state to desapropriate the mencioned areas. The study of the rural settlements became more intense from the decade of 90, with the increase of labourers settled down, it was formed a real social “microcosmo”. This work looks into the organization on land work by familiar farmers on one of the rural settlements in “São Francisco do Pará” municipality, northeast of Pará. Their organization works with a process that associates man-power and/or capital when organizing production, for some local groups on their agronomy activities. The organization complex ways are based on diversified prodution sistems and guided by social, economic and symbolic relationships that are built on local groups. These relationships might establish the way of reproduction of the diferent familiar groups involved on these locations.
